Whose Insurance Pays in a Multi-Car Accident in New York? - Samantha Kucher

From Kucher Law Group – Whose Insurance Pays in a Multi-Car Accident in New York? delves into the complexities of determining liability and insurance responsibilities in multi-vehicle collisions within New York's unique legal framework. 

In New York, a multi-car accident involves three or more vehicles in a sequence of collisions. These incidents are often complex, with the impact from the initial crash potentially causing subsequent vehicles to collide in a chain reaction. Determining liability in such accidents can be particularly challenging due to the multiple parties and varying degrees of fault involved. 

New York operates under a "comparative negligence" system, allowing for the distribution of fault among multiple drivers based on their respective contributions to the accident. This means that even if a driver is partially at fault, they may still recover damages, albeit reduced by their degree of fault. Establishing these fault percentages necessitates meticulous evidence collection, including photographs, videos, accident reconstruction, vehicle damage reports, and medical records. ​

Navigating the aftermath of a multi-car collision can be daunting, given the intricacies of liability and insurance claims. Seeking guidance from experienced legal professionals, such as the Kucher Law Group, can provide invaluable assistance in understanding one's rights, managing insurance claims effectively, and focusing on recovery.
